Over the last 20 years deduplication appliances have become integral components in the backup strategies of many organizations. However, as more organizations implement hybrid clouds, they need to re-examine the role that deduplication appliances play in them. While these appliances work well on-premises, they possess specific weaknesses that become more apparent when performing cloud recoveries
There eventually comes a point when enterprises say, “Enough! We need better options to manage all the features and technologies we have already acquired.” More technology providers have heard and responded to this cry for help. While providers still strive to introduce innovative features and technologies, many now seek to sustain this innovation through cloud consoles.

I received an interesting email last week Friday. StrongLink, a company that I am joining for a webinar on March 15, at 12 noon EDT, on intelligent data management, shared with me an almost unbelievable screenshot (pictured below.) It displayed a job from its offering that had just scanned a file store that was “1.8 EB” in size. I did a double-take to say the least. 1.8 EB?! Did I read that correctly and did it really mean a 1.8 exabyte file store?! As a matter of fact, yes, yes it did.
Anyone who thinks all Microsoft 365 software-as-service (SaaS) backup products offer all the same features need to think again. Each one protects different components of Microsoft 365 (M365) and there are no two products that protect M365 in the same way. If anything, organizations can only make a few safe assumptions when choosing any of the available M365 SaaS backup solutions.
The rapid adoption of Microsoft 365 by both individuals and organizations may create a blind spot for them. They still have responsibility for the data they store in Microsoft 365 and protecting it. This has resulted in the corresponding growth of the number of Microsoft 365 backup SaaS offerings and the features available in them.
